We
expect a great deal of competition for speaking opportunities at this
conference. Therefore, incomplete or poorly constructed proposals tend to be
quickly eliminated from consideration. If you are unsure of your proposal, you
may email us with questions so we can guide you before you make an official
submission. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot tell you if your proposal
will be accepted or not. This would not be fair to the other potential speakers
who have also submitted proposals. Presentations from corporate practitioners
that reflect real-world experience will receive priority consideration.
